About
The Society of Salome

Society of Salome is an informal group founded in 2021, created to connect people interested in the fashion & culture of the Victorian, Edwardian and Art Déco periods. The group takes its name from one of Oscar Wilde’s most famous plays, “Salome”, published in 1893 and banned in Britain until the 1930s due to its controversial topic. Society of Salome gathers several times a year at picnics, walks, museum visits and parties, with a dresscode varying from the 1890s to the 1930s, depending on the occasion. The core belief of the group is to cultivate the beautiful aspects of the historical periods of interest, such as fashion, art, literature & intellectual concepts,  while maintaining modern and progressive values, looking through a critical lens and bringing out many diverse aspects of history. Our events are welcoming towards everyone, whether one’s a lifelong vintage style wearer or just a beginner in the sphere of historical style. More information about the Society’s events can be found on our website & social media profiles.
